Ducktales: Journey To Agartha - Act 5

Chapter 10: Gloria's Reckoning

Past Gloria and Ellie were at the lovely camp dining hall gettin breakfast and water for Mark and Gyro who were still recovering from whatever illness they had. Ellie was also getting food for Kyle who was being a lovely caretaker for Mark while she wasn't there. What a cool little dude.

Ellie looked over at Gloria. Ugh! Even her face was annoying! She couldn't believe that killing her wasn't an option anymore with Boyd around. And the worst part was that Boyd definitely viewed Gloria as more of a mother figure than her. And Gloria knew nothing about parenting. Ellie had read everything available within an hour in her data! She was more than qualified!

If she couldn't kill Gloria, then she would just continue to make her life miserable until Boyd eventually chose her side over some stupid organic woman's.

Ellie stuck her foot out and tripped Gloria, causing her to drop some of the food.

"Oopsie."

Gloria caught herself before she fell on top of the food she was carrying. She didn't bother to pick up the food that dropped. It was bad enough they had to eat the food there that was already supposedly deemed edible and sanitary. "What the fuck is your problem?!"

"What do you mean? It was an accident."

"No it wasn't! I'm not even doing anything to you so why try to trip me!? What is this, third grade?!"

Ellie thought that was an actual question. "No. This is a camp, not an elementary school you dimwitted organic." She spat. "Also, you should already know why I am doing this to you."

She rolled her eyes. She really didn't want to start that same fight over again. "I think it would be better if we tried the silent treatment again."

"Alright. I suppose the verbal abuse will turn silent as well." Ellie kicked Gloria in the shin.

"Ow! Stop it!" If Gloria wasn't carrying the food, she would've thrown hands.

"No." Ellie was about to kick her again when a God Bot approached. Ellie thought she was going to be yelled at for being mean to people again.

The God Bot stared Ellie down. "You. Steelbeak wants to have a word with you. Come with me."

Ellie frowned. Steelbeak did threaten to kill her yesterday after all. "Why?"

"That's not my department. I was just ordered to escort you."

"Alright..." Ellie wasn't about to take on a God Bot. They actually intimidated her. She turned to Gloria and held out the food and water she was carrying. "You will deliver this to Mark and Kyle." Gloria had a tray so Ellie assumed she could make it work.

Gloria took the tray from Ellie and watched her leave with the God Bot. Good riddance. Maybe she'll be able to have a peaceful walk back to the cabin for once.

The short to Steelbeak's camp counselor office was short considering it was near the dining hall. The God Bot knocked and waited for an answer.

Steelbeak was quick to open the door and boy did he look mad. He waved the God Bot to leave and shoved Ellie inside his office, slamming the door shut behind her. "You! I don't know how you did it, but you took the medicine from my desk!"

Oh shit. Yeah she was dead.

She didn't have much time to come up with a good lie so she said the first thing that came to mind.

"There would be no reason for me to retrieve medicine when it is impossible for me to fall ill." She said. "And you already know I am not a fan of my cabin mates."
